Conventional
ball valves protrude out from the vessel sidewall, resulting in excess area
within the valve inlet for fluid to stagnate (remain in the valve after
draining). This is eliminated with the
TANK-FLUSH
design which has a shortened inlet connection to enable complete
drainage.
This 3-piece, full port ball valve design is available in sizes up to 8" and is made in 316L SS.
The inlet connection is designed to be welded to the vessel and the outlet connection can be any one of the following connection types:
Threaded
Socket
Tri-Clamp
Tube
Butt Weld
150# RF ANSI flanged
PTFE cavity fillers can be added, which fills the area between the ball and valve body to minimize trapped fluid which results in a more sanitary design.
The integral actuator mounting pad makes mounting an actuator easy.
